    1976 vin # question please

    really? that's interesting! but the p.o. did say the company that owed that truck built 1 gooder out of 3 trucks and that's why I didn't know the "y" engine code. so it looks to me the "j" 460 engine code stayed fairly standard for 73/9 trucks? thank you for your help regards joe

    ? removing cab mounts

    Hey guys I got those mounts off with out too much trouble, as there was no point in saving them any ways as they were completely done. This is what I did, I jacked up the cab to give a little room between the cab and the upper rubber, used a knife to cut the bushing out , cleaned out 35 years of...

    dana 61 rear end axle

    Okay thanks I will pull that axle out any ways and have a better look. I like the 307 ratio for highway. It might work good with my reg cab with the 502/c6/gear venders overdrive. I am figuring from a 3.54 ratio now the engine is reving at 2100 rpm @ 60 mph in high gear and the over drive kicked...

    Good day does any one know how common these axles are in the f250 line? This 77 parts truck I picked up last week has this axle [code 22/ 307 ratio] I know I have never seen one until now but it is a good highway ratio for lower rpms and speed. I don't know if there is any difference to a dana...

    New dakota digital dash

    This is gotta be the best set I have seen so far - the price of course. If I was designing this set I would put a square chrome cover over the center of the pointers, the big plastic knobs on the "4 gauge" are just a little too much.
